How did you times compare with other cars running the same course? I've never autocrossed my car before but I figured it would be a bit on the heavy side.

Some more C32 Track lovin - external shots

More lovin

More lovin

More lovin

Some good external shots 3 Of us rollin around on the track hard core...

As for comparing against other cars... depends which class they put you in... It holds its own, but ultimatly depends on the driver. No 4 doors that day could put down the same numbers, but there were a limited amount of 4 door cars... when driven right the car can sing

Yep, I have done it twice. They put me in Super Stock class against Z06s, so I didn't compete so well. The understeer is a big issue on a tight Autocross track. But it is a blast! This year I am in the A Stock class, so it should be more interesting. Glad to see another C32 out on the track!

That's some wide open autocross course! Seems a little better suited to the C32 than the courses put together by our local MBCA chapter. The tighter the course gets the more your have to deal with the understeer and lack of traction due to the open differential.

Thanks for sharing the videos.

Where were you doing the autocross event? I have autocrossed my C32 at SCCA and Crown Autocross events in Kansas City. There has never been another Mercedes when I have been there. Also do at performance driving events at Heartland Park, and Mercedes events at Pittsburgh, Greater Washington and Western Reserve Sections. I plan on going to the MBCA meeting this summer at Mid-Ohio. I do not know if you belong to the MBCA club, but don't recall seeing you at our monthly breakfast meetings. The club is planning to go to the Heartland Park drag racing on 6/17, and I expect we will have a number of Mercedes there. Contact me to discuss.

You go to the solotime events out there in KC? Before I had the C32 I went to the KC SCCA stuff at arrowhead with my 2000 Millenia S
